For the first virtual team World Cup FIFA has invited 20 nations from all six confederations (UEFA, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, CAF, OFC and AFC). Two Royal Blues join the squad of the DFB.

With Tim “Tim Latka” Schwartmann and Philipp “Eisvogel” Schermer the DFB nominated two Royal Blues for the expanded squad of the first Esport national team.

“We are very happy to announce that Tim and Philipp have been nominated for the DFB’s Esport selection, both of whom have made a name for themselves over the past weeks and months and have earned the invitation to the Esport national team,” saidTim Reichert, Chief Gaming Officer of FC Schalke 04 Esports. “We joined Esport as one of the first Bundesliga clubs in May 2016. Now talking about a selection of the best players in Germany, is a success that we have supported significantly with our engagement as a club!”
